Getting the right fit for you in your Xero Shoes
If you’ve ordered or are looking to order shoes…
Shoe fitting is more about personal preference than geometry - 3 people with identical feet, could try the same shoe, and they could have 3 different opinions about whether the shoe fits.
So, we recommend trying them on to see what you think. If you’re planning to wear your shoes with socks, try them on that way. If you want a more barefoot experience, you can try them in bare feet or with a very thin sock. You can also experiment with removing the sockliner (insole) for an even “more barefoot” experience or to help get your ideal fit.
If you ordered or are looking to order sandals…
Similarly, length is a bit of personal preference. Some people want their toes up to the front edge, some people like them slightly further back, and some people even wear their sandals so that their toes hang slightly over the front edge — it’s entirely up to you!
You can use the size guide below to get started, the CM measurements are for your foot length so you can find your UK size needed. Check out the fit advice on the product page, some of our styles may require sizing up or down - this is based on our customer feedback to help guide you to the best fit.
We recommend measuring from heel to longest toes on both feet and using the longest length when ordering for the most comfortable fit. Most people's feet aren't perfectly symmetrical, so it's very possible your one foot is slightly longer, wider, or shaped differently than your other
What size should I order?
We recommend starting with your usual size, but here are a few general guidelines to help you decide:
Wear a whole size? Stick with your regular size.

Each product page includes specific sizing recommendations when needed. We always suggest checking those for the most accurate guidance.

Review topics: ["boots"].
"I love these boots, they fit so well, are really comfortable and warm and I’m so pleased Xero have done a dark brown women’s Chelsea boot. I already own an unlined pair in black, so these will keep me warm through the winter weather. They are smart enough to wear in town but the grip is good enough to survive my lighter hikes. I bought 1/2 size larger than my normal size as they do run small, but they are the comfiest boot I’ve ever owned, thanks Xero!"
"Love these boots! I wanted something smart enough for work but also comfortable. I love barefoot shoes with wide toe boxes and zero drop but wanted something with a thicker sole to be more comfortable walking and standing for longer periods of time in."
